Two-division ONE World Champion Anatoly “Sladkiy” Malykhin has called his shot for the main event battle at ONE Fight Night 7: Lineker vs. Andrade II on Prime Video this Friday, February 24. The undefeated 12-0 Russian hulk believes his longtime training partner Fabricio Andrade will claim the vacant ONE Bantamweight World Title in the best way possible – with a devastating finish.
Speaking to ONE Championship earlier this week, the light heavyweight and interim heavyweight king said, “There can be only one end to this fight – a knockout. I think Fabricio will win, and he will finish Lineker before the fourth round.”
